    Signature on EK2 doc help please

    Can somebody please confirm - or deny - this is the signature of Oaks winner Otto Deßloch?

    thanks in advance,
    Hank

    Hello Hank,
    Nice document, and although I'm no handwriting expert, I do believe that to be the signature of Otto Deßloch.
    Best regards,

        Thanks Gents! I was pretty sure, since the unit matched, but the date sorta didn't. But being a zweitausfertigung, I believe it got the original date, but the new commanders sig.

        It belongs to a small group with ostmedal, Flakkampfabz, and Erdkampfabz, all to mr. Fingerhuth.

        best,
        Hank

          Hello Hank,
          I find no discrepancy at all with the date of award. Deßloch was Commanding General of the II. Flakkorps from 03 October 1939 until 31 March 1942. He held the rank of Generalleutnant from 19 July 1940 until 31 December 1941. This is a very nice document.
          Best regards,

            Hello Hank,
            If you get a chance, I would very much like to see the rest of this grouping.
